Just wondering if anyone went? What were your thoughts?
I did go cause i was near and was picking up my daughter at the airport. Dissapointed. Nothing like the old show at the OAC. The highlite was the Canadian having all the new equipp.and you could demo clubs. Cost me 22.00 with parking.
I will agree with Marcos in terms of cost. I never attended one of the older shows so I had nothing to compare it to but I would assume shows in Torobto area would blow this one out of the water.
Went on the Saturday. It was nice to demo clubs from the Canadian with TM, Cobra, Srixon and Titleist. My son was able to take advantage of the kids zone because there were almost no kids there at all. I was there for one of the live auctions which weren't too bad to get involved in and there were some decent deals to be had.
It was pretty disappointing. We go every year - kinda kicks off the season for us and it is great to see some friends out at the show but when the biggest attractions are the beer tasting (OK maybe I get this), the ax throwing and the auction, one wonders …..I also find it expensive for what you get.....though we will go next year again I expect ….what was that definition of insanity again ….. :-)
Whats with that axe throwing LOL. I dont get it but yes, the beer tasting was okey Les.Quote:

I think there is a lot in common between axe throwing and golf ... just ask Matt AveryQuote:

Was the last visit for me . When the most interesting booth is the micro beer( Marcos) i'm not there anymore. Don't get me wrong i'm an avid golfer, it's just that after so many years it's becoming to be the same story over and over. Must be the same at the boat show . lol!
In 1/2 hour i had seen everything even by taking my time.
Hitting clubs at demo booths is not the same, everything is different now. Years before you were grabbing a club in the demo bag and were hitting balls as lon as you weren't seing someone waiting after you..
Now they have to screw the head to the shaft and you don't really want to have them to look over you .
You just want to swing with no one over your shoulder and take a bit of rust away and have fun hitting 10 or 15 ball in a net 25 feet from you without having to buy a club:)
There you go.
